It has been a cold wet Easter here and the storks have wind ruffled feathers.
I know how they feel as they hunker down on their nests waiting for the warmer weather . These nests are right in front of the local church and the the trees are specially trimmed each autumn to ensure that the birds have a safe easily accessible platform for their nest in the spring, before the leaves appear.
The storks all sat close on their nests as the congregation came out to admire them on a windy Easter Sunday morning.
It will be much warmer soon, 20 degrees and more. The storks will be pleased. We also can observe them where I live.

How wonderful to see them! So pleased the trees have been pruned to help them. We have a blackbird in the clematis by our bedroom window and bluetits in a box right next to it! We can lie in bed and watch them flitting to and fro. We’ll be able to keep an eye on the nests and protect them from magpies.

I ve been trying get birds to nest in our garden for years, but there are too many cats ( some of them mine) I love the idea of watching from the comfort of your bed!

Luckily Monty doesn’t take much notice of them. But we are taking no chances and putting mahonia and holly branches under the nests!
